Sandilands Chemical Works

Foundation work for the new granulation plant, Sandilands Chemical Works. In the background are the old lodge buildings which became laboratory and office buildings in the later history of Sandilands. The granular fertiliser produced by the new plant was based on ammonium phosphate and as such was a more concentrated chemical fertiliser than that produced on superphosphate base. The batch mixer was replaced by a continuous mixer and the plant produced approximately 20 tons per hour, 24 hours a day, every day.
